We should pray that everyone, even scoundrels, finds peaceful repose.

Since I came to ND fandom rather late - I had no direct connections to ND before attending - I've always found the whole "Keith Jackson hates Notre Dame" whining on the part of the Notre Dame fanbase to be completely ridiculous. So much so that if there were an "irrational ridiculousness" scale, Notre Dame fans' assessment of Jackson would land right next to Texas A&M's "little brother syndrome" in their hatred of the Texas Longhorns.

Jackson was the voice of college football for a couple of generations, and he deserves a fond sendoff, even from Notre Dame. In fact, maybe especially from Notre Dame, since he was probably more informed about Notre Dame's history than most Notre Dame fans.

He is as deserving of a ‘fond sendoff’ as was BS
